Stop guessing when to water. For caudex, agave & staghorn growers: AI watering dates, QR tags to ID & transfer plants, and records that learn from every loss.
A serious management app for caudex plants, agaves, and staghorn ferns.
When did I last water that one? Once you're growing dozens of plants, it's easy to lose track of watering.
BotaCodex is a management tool for caudex and succulent enthusiasts, where AI suggests the right watering based on each species and your own records.
■ Key Features
▼ AI Watering Suggestions From species, season, growing environment, and your past records, AI suggests watering tailored to each of your plants — accounting for seasonal phases like dormancy and active growth.
▼ Family Tree & Lineage Link plants grown from division, seed, or cuttings to their parent plants. Trace lineage across generations with a family tree that also handles crosses with multiple parents and backcrosses. Viewing the family tree is free; linking to a parent is a Pro feature.
▼ AI Photo Consultation (Pro) Share a photo with symptoms like "looking weak lately" or "leaves dropping" and consult AI about your plant.
▼ QR Tag Generation (Pro) / Scan (Free) Generate and print a QR code for each plant. Stick it on the pot and scan to open that plant's details instantly (scanning is free). And when you pass a plant on to someone, they just scan the QR to inherit it — watering, growth, and photo records included. The time you've invested carries over (transfer).
▼ Memorial & AI Loss Analysis (Pro) Record plants you've sadly lost. AI analyzes the cause and keeps it as a lesson so you don't repeat the same mistake (AI analysis is Pro).
■ A Professional Management Experience, In Your Hand A calm, dark-mode-unified interface. Designed for observing, recording, and analyzing your plants — a serious management experience. Its spacious, refined layout keeps managing dozens of plants comfortable.

Ratings & Reviews
This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
■ Introducing Named Varieties
Agave titanota "Hakugei", Platycerium willinckii "OMG" — you can now track
individual cultivar names separately from the plant and scientific name.
Named varieties appear throughout the app: in your collection list, plant
details, notifications, and AI consultations. Plants without one look exactly
as they did before.
■ Notifications now arrive reliably
Fixed an issue where enabling notifications during the welcome guide did not
actually deliver them to your device. Watering schedules are now calculated
identically on screen and in notifications, so what you see and what you're
told no longer disagree.
■ Device notifications are now available on the free plan
Device notifications, previously limited to Pro, are now included in the free
plan. Free covers your 5 monitored plants; Pro covers every plant you register.
■ Redesigned welcome guide
Registering your first plant is now more direct, with a clearer path to adding
the next one.
■ Other fixes
・Fixed a case where the screen could become unresponsive after the device
locked while editing a plant
・Fixed tag changes being lost while editing
・Fixed account deletion not completing correctly
・Fixed irrelevant notifications being sent when no plants are registered
・Fixed the notification time being saved repeatedly while adjusting it
・Fixed text selection not working in the plant name field
